The region was fought over for long periods of its history, by Romans, Visigoths, Moors, Christians and then later by Spanish and French invaders. Castles were built throughout the ages to protect strategic towns and cities. Many of Portugal’s castles are closely related to the Order of the Temple and to independence from the Muslim and Spanish kingdoms. The fortresses reveal an Arab influence dating back centuries combined with the Templar presence and Portuguese flair that made these constructions seemingly impregnable. #SBS #SBSonDEMAND #Australia #History@zdenek1964 #SpecialInterest #History@britblood
